Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers about the remote job board, direct apply links, and the AI-assisted application service.

What is Hidden Jobs?

Hidden Jobs is a remote tech job board and application workflow for finding roles that are often missed on larger job platforms.

How does Hidden Jobs apply to jobs for me?

You choose your target roles, upload your CV, and keep control of your settings. The AI application service can then submit selected matching roles based on your preferences.

Can I choose which jobs Hidden Jobs applies to?

Yes. You set the categories and role preferences used for matching, and you can pause or adjust the application service from your dashboard.

Do I need to upload a CV?

A CV is required for the AI application service because it helps match your experience to relevant roles and gives applications the right context.

Can I still apply manually?

Yes. You can open the original application links yourself with an active Hidden Jobs Access subscription, or use the AI-assisted application service.

What does Hidden Jobs Access include?

Full job details are public. Hidden Jobs Access unlocks original application links and adds instant alerts, premium filters, CV matching, tracking, and AI-assisted applications.

Will employers know an application was AI-assisted?

Applications are submitted using your CV and selected role settings. Hidden Jobs focuses on targeted submissions, not mass generic outreach.

What kind of jobs can I find?

Hidden Jobs focuses on remote tech roles across software engineering, AI, data, design, DevOps, product, support, and related categories.

How does the Hidden Jobs affiliate program work?

Every affiliate gets a unique referral link and a discount code for followers to use at checkout. The first valid referral is kept on the subscriber account. You earn 50% of list price on confirmed recurring payments; Hidden Jobs funds the discount, and your dashboard shows referrals, payments, earnings, and payout history.

Do free trials generate affiliate commission?

No. Free trials, failed payments, and pending payments do not generate commission. Earnings begin when Stripe confirms a paid recurring invoice, while the Lifetime plan is a one-time purchase.

Can I connect Hidden Jobs to my own product or AI client?

Yes. Use the REST API to search remote tech jobs from your own product or workflow, or connect an MCP-compatible AI client to search jobs and read details with a Hidden Jobs API key.

Can the API or MCP open original application links?

Yes, through the dedicated application-link endpoint or MCP tool when the API key has the required scope and its owner has an active Hidden Jobs Access subscription. Search and job-detail responses never expose the original URL.

Can API or MCP apply to jobs automatically?

No. API and MCP support job discovery, job details, and protected original application links. They do not include an auto-apply tool.
